Opposite View — текст песни (Del Amitri)

We could be away from here

By ten oclock tonight

Pennies wont get us to heaven, I know

But a borrowed car just might

Look through my wallet

Theres enough for a hotel room

But no, no, no, you say

"i wanna stay in and get wet with you."



Why do you take the opposite view?



We could be different people tonight

Who do you want to choose?

Ill book a table in a suit and tie

And you can wear your sisters shoes

Look through my wallet

Which cities shall we travel through?

But no, no, no you say "you just got paid,

Moneys not for wasting its for holding onto."



Why do you take the opposite view?



Is it something in your nature

That makes it hard to say, "baby, I do."

You dont have to agree

When someone says they love you

But you dont have to take

The opposite view



We can walk on the roofs tonight

And watch the midnight traffic flow

Unscrew the lightbulbs babe,

And well throw them from the 14th floor

I say were yellow

If we dont do something new

But you just laugh and start filling up my glass

As if its not true.



Why do you take the opposite view?



Every precious second theres a chance to change

The present tense is perfect baby,

Lets rearrange it.
